Actually, Gnome (at least the base libraries) is written in C
precisely to avoid language dependency issues, since it is possible to
make bindings for most other languages on top of a C library. KDE uses
C++ because the underlying Qt toolkit is written in C++.
-- sparky, whose personal opinion is that none of this matters for LSB
1.0 anyway, so we should concentrate on that and sort this out later
